Roll Tide! We lived in Huntsville for a decade and in Hamilton for 8.5 years. This is fantastic information. Simplified everything. We haven't been camping in decades. The best memories from childhood were camping, so I figured it was time to get back to it. I bought us a Gazelle 4TPlus because I will have to do the setup myself until my husband recovers from a foot injury. He cannot get up and down off the ground easily so I am looking at cots vs. airbeds. I will binge your videos and glean as much as I can. They are great!

[@moderntentcamping]

Huntsville is growing like crazy. Apartments and sub divisions are being built everywhere. Roads are clogged in the mornings, after school, and after work. Hope you enjoy those videos. I’m working on another one and hope to post it this weekend. Take care.

[@tommieboi707]

Thanks Frazier for all the informative videos. I always go back and rewatch your videos every now and then to get a refresher. And I've been camping for 30 years!! Well, maybe I just enjoy your videos. Keep em coming sir.

Thank you tommieboi707. I’m always happy to hear that my videos are helpful. I’m currently working on a video about Zebra pots. Have you ever heard of them? I’m now waiting for some warm dry weather so I can demonstrate a few tips for cooking with them.

mrbr549 Thanks again for your kind support and long-term support. It means a lot to me.

[@cjm2968]

As always it is a great video to teach others about tent camping. The idea of using bathroom shower curtains for the side/wind walls is brilliant. A tarp would do in a similar way, but the clear curtain allows the sun in for morning warmth and allows visibility to beautiful outdoors. Using a rope as a shower curtain rod allows flexibility. Your inspiration has given me the idea of bringing all of my usual camping equipment but now also a separate one called "the Hack Box" . It contains the seldom used items but ones that I am glad to have for the unforeseen or infrequently needed. Clear shower curtains are one of them. Thank you Frazier Douglas.

[@moderntentcamping]

Hey Chris, it’s great to hear from you again. Hope you are doing well. I like that idea of a hack box. I may have to borrow it. We’re you affected by that big storm earlier this week? It looked like it dumped a lot of snow along the North Atlantic coast. We got some very cold temps but very little snow. Hope you have a great 2023.

[@Adventureswithbecky]

Love this! So glad I found your channel! I think tent camping is so much better than trailer camping. Being in the outdoors and cooking outdoors is so much more relaxing! Costco also has an amazing canopy that is fire retardant and is extremely sturdy. We bring 3 of our fold up tables and seperate our cook station with prep and our dishwashing/drying area with handwashing station then have one for eating (large family). Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!

Thanks for your note. It always makes me feel good when someone tells me they learned something from my videos. Bless you.

[@totoroben]

A couple things about the propane stove: ditch the green tanks in favor of a flame king 5 lb propane tank with hose adapter. You can buy the flame king tank from Costco online. The tank is refillable at many U-Haul locations. Also i recommend buying a couple hot plates (they are only $11 each) for an easy alternative when you are at an electric site so you're not using propane unnecessarily. Another good electric option is an electric griddle or skillet. It's cheap and light to have this alternative available to you and is a no brainer when "shore power" is available.

[@moderntentcamping]

Good suggestions if you have a lot of packing space but we (wife & grandson) have to pack all our camping gear in our SUV and don’t have space for that gas tank.

[@totoroben]

@@moderntentcamping the tank holds five of those green tanks, and my thought is it takes roughly that amount of space. You'll probably easily go through five green tanks on a trip. The more propane you're using on a trip the greater space savings and benefit you'd have by going with a refillable tank.

[@totoroben]

I transport mine in the box which measures 9x9x13, a pack of six green tanks measures 8x8x12, so yeah i can see where you'd say it takes more space, however if your going past six green tanks you'll probably start realizing a space savings from an 11lb.

A great video. Here on the east coast of Australia we are in our third 'La Nina' year and here that means; rain, rain, rain..! So we certainly need shelter for the kitchen here. We too used to go for a big tarp, however the setup and down was fiddly and packing it all away, with guys and poles, very time consuming. I am going to look at a similar hexagonal shelter and currently have my eye on one by Oztent, which I believe may be available in the US also? (For you at the moment with the high USD$ you might be able to score a real bargain, buying anything priced in AUD$..?) Kitchen wise, I have just revised our kitchen setup in terms of storage and kit. Have gone for utensils and spices in a roll, which we will hang up at camp. Some plastic storage drawers for crockery. A smaller, clear storage box with a tray, which contains, cutlery, tea, coffee and spreads, such as peanut butter and what we are all addicted to down here; Vegemite!! :D A few boxes, however small, portable and packable. I was contemplating building the REI chuckbox, (they have free plans online and it looks very functional and ultra handy). I might still do so, just as a project and to compare it to what I have organised currently? I do like Coleman stoves. We currently run butane stoves, which are owned by the same parent company as Coleman, however I think we will move over to a Coleman and propane. There is a brand new range just out, which look a little retro and the tech is up to date, so once your dollar comes down, I think we will move in for one of those!! I LOVE the use of the milk crates as part of your kitchen and will trial that on our next outing, which should be in a few weeks. An Aussie company here called 'DRIFTA" makes canvas bags specifically to fit around a milkcrate to seal the contents. Your careful focus on nesting crockery and kit is fantastic, I will now make that my obsession. We have 2 x young kids, so space in the car is very much needed, as you know only too well by the look of your photos. Right, before I write War and Peace; thank you for sharing your wisdom, it is really helpful and all the best!

[@moderntentcamping]

[@TheGeekess]

Going camping this week up in Tennessee with my SO (we live in central 'Bama). I have a hatchback, so have added a hitch and basket to carry equipment - other trips proved that driving a hatchback loaded with gear is dangerous, because I can't see out of it. Still working on ideas for a pantry setup - not sure the crates would work for my situation, but I hate the smell of the plastic storage box I've tried to use before. I did not know that you were using fabric shower curtains to make walls for your kitchen - I purchased three to use on this trip for my kitchen canopy. One of them has built-in storage, so that should help with organization when we make camp. They seem to be less expensive than regular canopy walls, and if one is using an odd-shaped slant-legged canopy (like I have), then walls are impossible to find. Velcro will be used to fasten the walls at the top and legs. Love my propane Coleman stove, but I use a 25 gallon propane tank so I'm not going to run out of fuel for it. Just bought a single burner Coleman butane stove to hot water for coffee and tea. I've also purchased a Coleman camp oven which makes its inaugural trip this time. We're excited by biscuits and brownies being possible on this trip. Because of you and your videos/books, I was able to convince my SO that camping was not meant to be uncomfortable. Looking forward to watching more videos!

The Geekess Yes, I’ve camped there several years ago. Very nice but the campground is on the side of a steep hill. Walking to the bathroom and back to the campsite was very strenuous.

Smax Varese My old home state. I lived there 9 years and vacationed there for the next 35 years. I know the state well and have camped in almost every state park in the southern and northeastern corners. Where do you usually go? My complaint is the state DNR has allowed many campgrounds to be over run with raccoons and coyotes. Have you camped in Michigan? They have some great camping destinations.

[@sarahvera239]

Great ideas Mr Frazier I just realize I have too much stuff and need to reduce and a question do you ever uncounted animals and if so how do you deal with them

[@moderntentcamping]

Hey Sarah, it’s good to hear from you again. Yes, we have frequently had animals that could have made our trip unpleasant. But we always leave our food in the car and only remove it to cook or eat. Most common animal scavengers are squirrels and raccoons. And they can be very aggressive over food. Over the years we’ve had a few skunks come to our campsite but they never sprayed and left when they didn’t find food.I’ve heard of other campers who have coyote problems when they leave dog food out over night. And I’ve heard about bear problems when food is left out over night.- but we never had this problem. We try not to camp near garbage cans because they can attract mice and mice can attract snakes. My wife says the biggest animal problem is dog poop that is not picked up by owners. Every campground seems to have a different animal problem. Where do you usually camp? Hope this is helpful.

[@KevStormJ]

How do you handle on-site cookware cleaning? On my last trip, I spent a lot of time just cleaning the plates and cookware. I created a make-shift sink with a bucket and a specter water can but it wasn't easy. I'm now looking into a collapsable sink table and pressurized water container. Thoughts?

[@moderntentcamping]

We have a simple system. After eating, Eva’s heats some water, sets up a dish washing station on the end of a picnic table and uses our largest cooking pot to hold soapy water to wash each item. After washing, she puts it on a mat until every thing has been washed. Then she rinses each item with cups of warm water and sets it up on a drying mat. She catches soapy water in a bucket. While she is washing and rinsing, I put food back in the car, take trash to the dumpster, clean stove & tables, and clean cast iron. Then I dry dishes and repack them. Whoever gets free first takes soapy water to grey water disposal station. After the last meal of the day, we pack our shower bag and take a shower. Thanks for the question. Hope this answers it.

Hey. Thanks for the note. Yes, our setup has evolved a lot over the past 50 years. I’m very happy with the way we set up our camp now but I’ve grown so old I may not be able to get out there many more times.

[@rowdysgirlalways]

Very intelligent choices. I think a screen room is a brilliant solution to sheltering a camp kitchen. Using shower curtains as wind breaks is pretty smart too. I love the fire table. Just the thought of bending over a campfire on the ground to cook makes my back ache! You have put together an excellent kitchen setup! Oh, and I certainly approve of where you put the food stores. Bears visiting my camp at any time to raid the groceries is terrifying to me. I remember my family camping at Yellowstone when I was a small child, back in the 50s. We had our very large tri-color collie with us when a bear decided to check things out one evening. My 6'2" 200# father could barely hold our dog back. He was going to damage that bear if he had a chance. The bear decided that the human's wolf was just too much and left. I was raised with that dog, he was 6 months older than me, and I had never seen him be anything but gentle, though strict about how I treated him. That night he made it clear that he wasn't going to let some damned bear mess with his pack! Dad was just grateful that the leash held and we had him on it. Loved that dog!

[@moderntentcamping]

Great story from your childhood reminded me of my favorite family dog - a collie / German Sheppard mix. She gentle as could be with my two young boys but ferocious toward anything that could harm them. Thanks for watching and posting this note. Hope you have many fun camping trips.

As far as coolers go, I like taking 2 smaller coolers instead of just one big cooler . One for food and the other for beverages.

@@moderntentcamping Hi Frazier, we are going to Martin Dies Jr. state park in east Texas for 4 days/3 nights. I’ll take photos and email them to you. Although we have a site with a screened shelter, we are using this trip as a practice run for future trips to sites without many/any amenities. We are only expecting rain on Saturday, and it’s Texas in the spring, so you never really know for certain what kind of weather you will have on any given day. The shelter we have has no sides, but we have tarps to rig up in case the rain comes in sideways, which is entirely possible.

Thanks, it's a very useful video. I have a question: why did you prefer a propane stove but a gasoline stove?

[@moderntentcamping]

Just found your question. Propane is much cleaner and easier to maintain. Thanks for watching.

I love kitchen gadgets. I love cooking. I have two camp Kitchen boxes that I take on every trip one for utensils, cookware etc. and the other is a dry food box. Depending on where I’m going and for how long I adjust my kitchen box. Different trips require different things. Sometimes I only need a few items if it’s just a one or two day trip and I’m cooking light. Sometimes I need the whole box if I’m camping for three or four days and really cooking. I love to see how other people arrange things it gives me great ideas. As far as surface area goes I have a nice adjustable folding table that I use as my main kitchen table. I have a newly purchased tire table that is great for the stove and eating on, and I have two small GSI tables that I used by the campfire to hold beverages and miscellaneous stuff. Thanks for the great ideas Frasier. I always admire your set up.

Jacqueline Thanks again Jacqueline for your encouraging comments. How is work? Are you busy now or do you have more time for camping. Do you have any camping trips planned this year? Sometime, I wish we could talk. It would be nice to chat.

Frazier Douglass With tax season over now I’m going to take next weekend off and head to the upper peninsula for a long weekend. There’s a nice little rustic campground near Lake superior I want to try out. I’m really excited. And yes it would be great to talk one day.

Jacqueline Will you be going up to the Ernest Hemingway area? Please send photos if you take any.

[@Jax4umalta]

Frazier Douglass I’m not sure where that is. I will be going up between Grand Marais and Marquette. We staying at a tiny little State Forest Campground on Kingston Lake. There is question if I’ll be going or not if I do go I will for sure take pictures and post them on your Facebook page.

I never would have thought about using pie pans as dishes! That is genius. Thank you for sharing!!!! In return, I will share one of my little hacks. I have a very similar set up to yours about the food and how it is laid out in the vehicle. I leave a five gallon water jug in there too. It is heavy and large and difficult to move around as you said, but I have found a way to get around all that. There are little water pumps sold for under ten bucks on Amazon that charge using a usb port and the charge lasts a week. They screw on top of the jug and you operate them by pressing a little button for water to pump out as needed. At first, I tried the pumps that you gotta mash the blue button on the top manually and found those to be a pain in the neck. They didnt stay firm on top of the water bottle and their straw tubing would frequently pop apart inside the jug, leaving me to fish them out and reset the whole deal over and over again. But the new pumps work amazingly! They have a flexible tube that goes into the jug and that has not let us down one single time. They also stay put on top of the jug. It has made my life camping a lot more convenient as far as water supply is concerned. Thank you again for sharing your tips!

[@moderntentcamping]

That’s a good tip. Do you remember the brand? Was it for an aquarium?

[@sheriewoodall3631]

@@moderntentcamping It is actually created for the water jugs. There are about five zillion and one brands on there. I was looking for water pumps for water jugs and these auto ones started popping up. The brand is something in Chinese but it had the most positive reviews and has not let us down yet. I think it ended up costing about $8 after tax and everything, but there are tons in the under ten dollar range on there.
